Talk:Frank McRae

Date of birth

As per WP:DOB (a section of the WP:BLP policy) I have removed the uncited exact date of birth from the article. It should not be restored unless it is not only cited, but cited to a source or soures which make it clear that the date has been widely published, or else published with the subject's approval. The day and month of birth of a living person are of little encyclopedic value, while making them public can contribute to identity theft and other problems. The year suffices to place the subject in chronological context. DES ^(talk) 12:26, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

According to obituaries from Deadline and Varity, McRae was 80 years old. That rules 1944 out as a birth year. I have found another source that states 1942 as a birth year, which can't be correct either. To make things even worse, I also found a source that states both "1944" and "80 years old" at the same time, which is a mathematical impossibility! Could someone please find out when he was really born?! What is it with these actors/actresses and their birthdates/birthyears...?

According to Le Matin, McRae was 77 years old. — Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 16:25, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

The norm data given in the Wikipedia artcle are no help either. There is 1952 oder 1942 given as year of birth. Really strange --Thomas Dresler (talk) 12:16, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Date of Death

He was 80 years old according to sources so he cannot have been born in 1944.
